Cable V Bar Row Strength Standards Calculator

Compare your Cable V Bar Row strength with Endura's strength standards for men and women at your bodyweight. A useful benchmark for a good one-rep max is our Intermediate standard: approximately 120 lb at 190 lb for a man and 66 lb at 150 lb for a woman.

How does your best lift compare? Enter your bodyweight, the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance, and the reps you completed below. The calculator estimates your one-rep max and shows your strength level for your bodyweight. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range.

The calculator compares that estimated one-rep max with the Cable V Bar Row standards for your sex at your bodyweight. Use the result to compare sets performed with the same equipment and movement rules. The benchmark is a comparison target, not a working-set prescription.

What Is a Good Weight for Cable V Bar Row?

A useful Endura benchmark for Cable V Bar Row is the Intermediate level. At the reference bodyweights used by this model, Intermediate begins around 120 lb for a 190 lb man and 66 lb for a 150 lb woman. These are estimated one-rep-max comparison targets, not universal starting weights or measured population averages.

Enter the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance. Keep the same convention when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Enter your bodyweight, exact exercise weight, and valid reps to see how your set compares with the bodyweight-adjusted standards and the next target.

Your Cable V Bar Row result compares your estimated one-rep max with strength targets adjusted for your sex and exact bodyweight. The result is still specific to Cable V Bar Row; it should not be treated as a rating for a nearby exercise.

A heavier lifter receives higher target weights, but those targets do not rise pound-for-pound with bodyweight. This is why the calculator uses your exact bodyweight instead of assigning every lifter’s tier from one fixed bodyweight ratio.

Cable V Bar Row Strength Standards

Use the men’s or women’s table and find the row closest to your bodyweight for a quick reference. For an exact result, enter your bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps into the calculator. It will estimate your one-rep max, identify your strength level, and show the next target to pursue.

Enter the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance. Use the same cable station and setup when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Attach one rigid V-bar to a low cable. Sit upright with feet braced and a close neutral grip. Begin at controlled full reach. Pull the V-bar to the abdomen with both elbows driving back and shoulder blades controlled. Keep the torso fixed. No torso heave, shrug, curl, or one-side-leading rep. Return under control to the same reach.

Endura built these standards from reviewed Cable V Bar Row targets and adjusts them for different bodyweights. They are practical benchmarks for this exact test—not population averages.

How the Cable V Bar Row Calculator Works

Enter your sex, bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps. The calculator estimates your one-rep max from the set, then compares that estimate with the Cable V Bar Row targets for your exact bodyweight. A one-rep entry uses the entered weight directly.

The bodyweight adjustment starts with reviewed targets for a 190 lb man and a 150 lb woman. For example, the men’s Advanced target is 144 lb at 150 lb bodyweight, 168 lb at 190 lb, and 191 lb at 230 lb. That is why the calculator needs your exact bodyweight instead of using one fixed bodyweight ratio for everyone.

Elite Cable V Bar Row Strength Levels

Elite Cable V Bar Row strength means reaching the Elite target for your sex and exact bodyweight while following the calculator’s accepted testing rules. The target increases as bodyweight increases, but not pound-for-pound, so use the calculator for your exact Elite and Stretch targets.

Cable V Bar Row Elite and Stretch Reference Targets
Sex	Bodyweight	Elite begins	Stretch begins
Men	150 lb	184 lb	218 lb
Men	190 lb	215 lb	255 lb
Men	230 lb	244 lb	290 lb
Women	120 lb	109 lb	133 lb
Women	150 lb	126 lb	154 lb
Women	180 lb	142 lb	174 lb

Cable V Bar Row Strength Compared to Other Lifts

Use these comparisons to see how your Cable V Bar Row strength carries over when the implement, starting position, or finish changes. Test each movement under its own rules so every result reflects the exercise you actually performed.

Compare the strength levels each calculator gives you instead of assuming the same weight means the same thing in different exercises. A meaningful gap can point you toward the part of the movement worth working on next.
